Doctors in the South, Florida area are starting not to do the lap band procedures anymore. Their saying, its having too many erosions and revisions. Ugh!! Anyhow, I notice in other states within the US they no longer doing lapbands. Anyone else is knows of this too?

I have not lost much weight at all. I had my band removed in December 2013 and sleeved March 2014 and only lost 34 pds and gained back 13 pds. Now I've learned I'm battling hypoglycemia. I worked out hard over the past few years watched my fat intake and now I'm told I'm not getting enough fat in and to stop working out. Been battling dehydration for over year. I get headaches and acid feeling from my stomach which triggers headaches. I really regret this surgery. All of them

I have a good lap band surgeon with good follow up. The first 2 years are included with the surgery he says that he does less lap bands now. I've been ready about the complications. But I'm also concerned about absorbing calcium. My mom had a gastric bypass many years ago and can't absorb calcium and has osteoporosis. Have a small area of my spine with osteopenia. My sister had the sleeve this year and now needs surgery for scar tissue. I was all for the band but these stories are scaring me.

@@wincha I would not do any of them if I were you. I had the band and now sleeve I regret both....

The lap band left me with 2 hernias and a ton of scar tissue. I am now having to revise to the sleeve after the doc took my band out and couldn't revise same surgery due to the amount of thick scaring that the band created.

Why do you regret your sleeve?
